In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, consultant Chris McDonough speaks with farmer Matt Cook about his strategies for using early-season rainfall to establish crops and managing grazing to prevent soil degradation.
Cook discusses the challenges of farming in areas with dry saline land and issues with resistant weeds like ryegrass and barley grass. He also shares insights on the impact of grazing, the use of various materials like sand and organic matter from feedlots to improve soil health, and the importance of seeding in damp conditions for better crop establishment.
